Curiosity has also been associated with seeing situations from new perspectives, continued learning and deeper understanding of others.

Hello Spring

There’s something hopeful about the arrival of spring.

The days become a little longer, there’s more light in the evenings, gardens begin to change, and many of us naturally find ourselves spending a little more time outdoors.

While a change of season isn’t a cure for difficult feelings, spring can offer some gentle opportunities to support our wellbeing.

☀️ More natural light can help support our sleep–wake cycle and daily rhythms.
🌿 Time outdoors can provide a change of environment and an opportunity to slow down, notice what’s around us and reconnect with the present moment.
🚶 Warmer, longer days can make it easier to incorporate movement into everyday life - even if it’s simply a short walk.
🌸 Noticing seasonal change can also offer a lovely mindfulness practice. New leaves, different birdsong, warmer air or the first flowers appearing can give us small moments to pause and pay attention.

Welcome, Spring!

Grounded at Ginkgo……

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing gentle awareness to the present moment. It involves noticing our thoughts, emotions, physical sensations and surroundings with openness and curiosity, rather than judgement.

Research suggests that mindfulness is associated with a range of psychological benefits, including improved emotional regulation, reduced perceived stress and enhanced wellbeing.

Grounded at Ginkgo is our weekly series sharing short, evidence-informed insights about mindfulness and present-moment awareness.

A Ginkgo Moment……..

Reflection offers an opportunity to pause and gently notice our experiences, thoughts and feelings.

For many people, approaching these moments with curiosity and self-compassion, rather than self-criticism, can foster greater self-awareness and perspective.

Happy International Dog Day!

The cats had their turn earlier this month… now it’s time to acknowledge and celebrate our incredible canine companions!

Dogs can play so many meaningful roles in our lives. For some, they offer companionship, routine and social connection. For others, specially trained guide, medical alert and assistance dogs provide important practical support, helping people navigate everyday life with greater independence.

Research into the human–animal bond also continues to explore the ways our relationships with dogs may contribute to wellbeing, connection and quality of life.

So today, we are celebrating them all - the working dogs, assistance dogs, beloved family pets and friendly neighbourhood pooches who hold a special place in our communities.
